Red Center 165 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I wouldn't go for anything that didn't have deerhound in it. I have what we in Oz call a staghound or roo dog, which is deerhound x gh in varying mixes with some other bits and pieces down the line and I know of numerous dogs from the same line that have taken fallow regularly (albeit they were owned by irresponsible people, It's illegal here too). A good, honest deerhound of the old style is sound, fast, agile for it's size, enduring and have a temperament that can't be beaten IMO Quote Link to post

shaaark 10,780 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 don't forget they take a decade to get entered surprised there ent more people saying stuff with deerhound in Too tall, can't turn, not fast enough and brainless, and their feet are too big, oh yeah, almost forgot! Not enough bottle either lol Damn, I forgot that one! Lol Quote Link to post
shaaark 10,780 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Round my way there was a lad who ran a bull cross that did them for fun nighttime in the end he only ran the dog on deer during the day there wasn't many deer that escaped if the dog was on there case.if I remember right the dog was a racy type about 25tts 75lb and really loved Bambi's.I wouldn't consider any other dog than bull cross for the land round me if deer were legal again. How can you it be racy if its 25tt 75lb? Perhaps he made a typing error and meant 57lb instead of 75lb? Lol Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,484 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 A good 1/2 Bull 1/2 Grey 1st cross IMO. Might not be the fastest but is a pure powerhouse and could, pre ban of course, take down most species of Bambi Ive got a shed full of very good 1/2 bullgrey mate,but when the ban is lifted I wont be hoping for a lot of Roe. You have to be realistic.. 3 Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think the ultimate deer dog is either a dhxgh or dhxgh x colliexgh many moons ago I witnessed them take roe red and fallow on a regular basis those types have speed and power to get the job done some will agree most won't but that's my opinion 4 Quote Link to post

It would cost a fortune. A member on here has one, mostly deerhound with a touch of english bull. It's been trained and used for pig only. Get it over a fast type fen coursing bitch and you might be onto something. I can't remember his name but I think he posted in one of the more recent deerhound threads. 1 Quote Link to post
